The questioner : Also, he asks: Is it permissible for me to throw the pebbles at the Aqabah pillar, perform the circumambulation of the Ka'bah, shave my head, exit the state of ihram, and put on my clothes before I slaughter my sacrificial animal?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible. Because when a person throws the pebbles at the Aqabah pillar on the Day of Sacrifice and shaves his head, the first exit from ihram is permitted, and it becomes permissible for him to wear his clothes and do everything that was prohibited to him in the state of ihram, except for women. If, in addition to the stoning and shaving, he performs the circumambulation of farewell and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then everything becomes permissible for him, including women, even if he has not slaughtered the sacrificial animal.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : However, it is better to hasten and throw the pebbles at the Aqabah pillar first, then slaughter his sacrificial animal, then shave his head, then exit the state of ihram, then descend to Makkah to perform the circumambulation of farewell and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. This is the best course of action.
